After The Phantom

Chapter 9: Confrontasions and Confessions

I just stod there. Listening to his words, I couldn't believe he tricked me into coming here! We sang out our emotions of that long ago night as if it was just yesterday. I turned around facing him in a way it felt good to tell him finally but I could see in his eyes he had no idea.

And I loved you yes I loved you
I'd had followed anywere you led
I woke to wear my love and found you gone instead!

Within a moment he swept me up in his arms telling me the same thing.

And I loved you and I left you and I had to both of us knew why
And yet I don't regret from now until I die the night I can't forget beneath a moonless sky.

~~~~~

Once upon another time...a song of regret but also hope and wander of where we would be if our lives turned out differently. But it's to late, ten years to late.

The next day....

Gustave was missing! I had to find him, Meg came with me. My heart went straight down when I heard his terrible scream. I ran to my son, holding him tightly. Erik came out from his shadow demanding that I told him the truth.
I sent Gustave away with Meg leaving me alone with him. Slowly I began to tell him the secret that has been killing me for ten years.

Once upon another time
You loved me
You left me alone
But that's not all you did
You left me with a son

By this point Erik broke down in tears, and as always I felt hus pain.

Ever since that other time I wish how I wish you'd have known
I kept the secret hid what else could I have done?
Just love just live just give what I could give and take what little I disereve

Forgive me he beg'd, and when he started singing again he told me to go that I was free but to promise that Gustave would never find out.

I swear it believe me you know
You have my word and I swear this music won't remain unheard
This music your music will live again
One last time just as I swore
And soul to soul we will once more be hold! When I hear you sing...once more.

I looked at him one more time before running away. I felt like I owed him this last gift before leaving and this performance would be my goodbye to him.
